Hi there! Let's learn about how a butterfly grows. A butterfly doesn't start out looking like a butterfly. First, it is a little caterpillar. The caterpillar is soft and squishy, and it loves to eat leaves. After the caterpillar eats a lot and grows bigger, it makes a special home called a chrysalis or cocoon around itself. Inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar is changing and getting ready. Then, after some time, the chrysalis opens, and out comes a beautiful butterfly with big, colorful wings! Now the butterfly can fly and visit flowers.
So, to remember: caterpillar (soft and squishy) > chrysalis (special home) > butterfly (colorful and flies).
